I disagree and will play it out with you, if you wish. This is a won position
for white. Once you work out how white king can escape, black's attack fades
away. With a big big advantage for white, more then enough to win. Remember all
black has in the attack is one Queen and a knight and he is down a bishop for a
pawn. If you can break the attack which white can do, black is lost, with the
sac refuted.

 One main reason is the weak e3 Pawn which causes many
